1926: TRENTON'S NEW WASHINGTON MARKET

From the "MARKETS-TRENTON" folder in the Hamilton Library Local History Collection: A bit of detective work was needed in order to find what I believe to be the location of the "new" public market that was established on a plot of land between E. Front and E. Lafayette Streets in downtown Trenton. I have added a map insert to pinpoint the plot of land on which the new market was located. Many of us in the senior citizen community find it difficult to locate the landmarks we remember prior to the downturn of the city after the riots of the 1960's. The map insert will assist in pinpointing the location.
